Produktbeschreibung
In the high-stakes rematch of 1828, two titans of American politics clash in a battle that will determine the nation's fate. John Quincy Adams, the embattled incumbent, faces Andrew Jackson, the fiery populist and war hero, in an election riddled with political machinations and deep-seated animosities. As accusations of corruption and backroom deals surface, the country teeters on the brink of chaos. Jackson's supporters cry foul, decrying Adams' victory as a stolen triumph, igniting a powder keg of regional tensions. The South, seething with anger and feeling betrayed, edges closer to secession, threatening to fracture the young nation. Follow the tumultuous journey through the eyes of Jackson and his loyal allies, including the legendary Davy Crockett, as they navigate assassination attempts, fierce debates, and the underhanded tactics of their opponents. Experience the charged atmosphere of Nashville, where citizens rally and protest, and the tense corridors of power in Washington, where every move could spell disaster or victory. 1828 captures the political shenanigans and raw emotions of a country on the precipice. Will the Union survive the election's fallout, or will the United States be torn asunder? This gripping historical narrative delves into the dramatic events that shaped a pivotal moment in American history, exploring the resilience of a nation facing its most profound crisis yet.
